The FXRT clone looks great, but I'm not a fan of T-bars either.
My dream Harley, at least straight from the factory, would be a new Softail with good size fiberglass saddlebags and a normal size fixed fairing with GPS and satellite radio.
Matt Laidlaw talked about that in his review of the 2018 Sport Glide. He thought Harley really missed the boat saddlebag and fairing wise on the Sport Glide.
If they offered such a bike from the factory would no one buy or would it take sales away from the Street/Road Glide.
My inseam is pretty short and I've had no trouble with the new Street/Road Glides I've test ridden.
I just like the way a new Softail "feels" seat-of-pants wise...if that makes any sense.

Use to being the odd man out so I would like to try the bars on my Road Glide if I didn't have to modify the fairing. I'm all about comfort and having a close end to end bar works for me. I might even want to try them on my Road King??
The second bike, I wonder if that headlight is actually functional?
